This Day In History…

Kansas is playing a football game on August 30 for just the second time in school history. The Jayhawks lost to Northwestern 28-20 on this date in 2003. Here are some other things that happened on August 30:

1997 – The Houston Comets defeated the New York Liberty in the first WNBA Championship.

1990 – Ken Griffey and Ken Griffey, Jr. become the first father and son to play on the same team as they suit up for the Seattle Mariners and both single in the first inning.

The last field goal made by a Kansas player other than Scott Webb was Johnny Beck in 2004. The last person to attempt a field goal other than Webb was Kyle Tucker, who attempted and missed a 51-yarder against Texas Tech in 2005.
